Actually, I'm just trying to make myself feel better because I'm buying the AJ III retros that are supposed to come out tommorrow...

Nike has a page about their practices:

They're not perfect but they're not the most egregious offenders either. It's very possible that the shirt on your back was made under worse conditions than your Nike shoes. The fact is that almost all clothing brands use sweatshops.

Personally, I'm surprised that Yao hasn't taken up the issue. And, unlike Jordan, LeBron may yet tackle it. He's still just a kid.

If you're going to comment on what you feel is "the best part of the letter," make sure you at least read it.

Nader didn't say that it's cool for Stephon Marbury to benefit from sweatshop factory conditions as you irresponsibly claim. Nader said:

"Hopefully Marbury's efforts toward positive change will soon lead him to address worker's rights as well."

In the interest of fairness and accuracy, you should retract the last paragraph of your post.
